threads of a process share the same VMAs, so when dumping all threads
for all processes only push vma data for group leader.

This doesn't look right, group leader can be a zombie with ->mm == NULL,
 		if (i >= n)
 			err = fill_vma(tsk, skb, cb, &progress, show_flags);
so this probably needs something like find_lock_task_mm().
